Read up on the latest dental industry trends and news from DEXIS™.

Dentistry is undergoing a digital transformation, as a growing number of practices embrace digital solutions and workflows to drive efficiencies, accuracies, predictable outcomes, and a positive patient experience.

For over 20 years, DEXIS has been a leader in digital intraoral radiography and diagnostic software. Since 2022, the DEXIS brand has expanded to include our comprehensive portfolio of imaging solutions, including CBCT units, handheld x-rays, intraoral scanners, sensors, and navigated surgical solutions. We have united the top brands in dentistry, including Gendex™, Instrumentarium, SOREDEX™, i-CAT™, and NOMAD™ under one umbrella.

Gender equality in dentistry has made significant strides globally and in Europe. The number of women working in dentistry has notably increased, with up to 75 percent in Finland. Various estimates suggest that women in dentistry could make 40% of all professionals in the field in Europe. Given that the first female dentists appeared in some European countries only a hundred years ago, the progress made is truly remarkable. However, in terms of opportunities, income, and career development, there is still a lot of work ahead.

Investing in a CBCT device is a significant decision for any dental practice, as these advanced imaging systems are crucial for accurate diagnostics and treatment planning. At DEXIS, we understand the importance of this investment and provide a 5-year factory warranty as standard to ensure a solid foundation of security. However, we also offer an additional 5 years of coverage, extending our comprehensive warranty up to 10 years.

At the start of 2024, DEXIS introduced its digital ecosystem, a suite of tools and software designed to connect and streamline the implant workflow from diagnosis to delivery.
Today, DEXIS announced new offerings across the ecosystem to aid clinicians in important workflow elements from visualizing progressive dental issues to designing chairside surgical guides.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere this year and is having an especially large impact on dentistry. With the first four months of 2024 complete, DEXIS, a technology leader in dental imaging, has identified four leading trends in AI and dentistry that are already having an impact on dental care.

Long Story Short: 60 Years of Innovations.

DEXIS™ announces a new advancement in implant dentistry workflows with the DEXIS digital ecosystem: an interconnected, AI-powered platform for digital implants—combining cutting-edge CBCT, intraoral scanning, diagnostics, and treatment planning. The ecosystem is designed to empower clinicians to manage each step of an implant case, from diagnosis to delivery, with one integrated tool set.

Women's right to study scientific and medical fields, including dentistry, is now an accepted norm. In Finland today, for instance, women make up 75% of all dentists. However, this wasn't always the case. Women had to fight for their right to work in dentistry, much like they did for voting rights. These women, sometimes called "dental suffragettes," fought tirelessly to be recognized in this esteemed profession.
However, the involvement of women in dentistry dates back to ancient times.

As more doctors embrace 3D imaging to support their digital workflow and deliver state-of-the-art patient care, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is quickly becoming a mainstay in many practices — and for good reason. CBCT technology equips practices with the ability to capture and view exceptionally detailed 3D renderings that support improved diagnostic accuracy and confidence, more predictable treatment planning, and better patient outcomes.

“The OP 3D™ LX offers all the powerful features practices know and trust from our OP 3D line, augmented with innovations for expanded flexibility, improved workflow efficiencies, and enhanced diagnostic confidence,” says Laurent Tchang, Vice President, Commercial, Europe at DEXIS. “Developed and manufactured at the PaloDEx site in Tuusula, Finland, the OP 3D LX carries the legacy of Instrumentarium™ and SOREDEX™ forward, under the DEXIS™ brand."

Intraoral scanners have completely transformed modern dental practices in recent years. But while a practice might find the decision to purchase an intraoral scanner to be a straightforward one, the decision around which intraoral scanner to choose can feel considerably more complicated.

Are dental hygienists’ appointment windows shrinking? In a way, yes.
When you consider the multiple ad hoc requests that can arise combined with the growing trend toward accelerated and assisted hygiene, that appointment window can start to feel smaller and smaller.

Choosing the right intraoral scanner for your dental practice can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to deciding between wireless and wired models. While wired intraoral scanners have been the industry standard for decades, wireless technology has improved considerably in recent years.

An intraoral scanner is a handheld device used to create a digital impression in dentistry. This device has really become essential for every dentalpractice that places a premium on efficient procedures and the patient experience.
